Imagine Paulie going Floyd's route and fighting 1) McGregor 2) Nasukawa How do you see these fights going? Can Paulie stop Conor? Can he KO Nasukawa?
He may or may not stop Connor, but, he beats both of them. Definitely stops Nasukawa who had no business being in a boxing ring last week. Too small, too inexperienced.
I don't think the old ass Paulie who wanted to fight Conor could have stopped him. I mean just look at this: This content is protected
I think Conor has a fair chance of stopping Paulie, if he opens up and puts it on Paulie for the first 3 or 4 rounds. After that, Conor's gas tank would be on empty, and I think Paulie would either clown Conor and cruise to a points win (most likely), or stop a severely fatigued Conor in the 11th.
